Main Street in Plymouth - totally agreed.
Polly's in Sugar Hill - touristy but awesome.
Janie's in Londonderry is excellent as well. The Purple Finch in Bedford is very similar and is a good option. Both get very crowded.
Black Forest in Amherst does lunch but serves excellent breakfast all day.

Purple Finch was good but white birch eatery in Goffstown was started with their former crew. I like their atmosphere and food better than the current Purple Finch.

Bristol diner is an AMAZING time capsule and should be more famous than it is. Great building, absolutely amazing location (right on a river) great prices. They could charge double and get away with it. The Bristol Diner is the best gem in the state
plowfaster t1_j5hokxg wrote
Great answer, the Big Bean is an “A”, but it’s not even the best in tiny little Newmarket! The Great Hill Maples is the best in NH. Very small, literally a shack warmed with a potbelly stove, they only serve pancakes with real maple syrup they themselves make, and only open a few months a year. But it’s absolutely perfect

I agree that the staff is awesome. But after everything opened back up and we tried again, it just wasn't very good. We went back the first time and it was terrible. We thought it was just a bad day, so we gave them another chance. Another fail, and I promise, we aren't Karens,I'm in the service industry and very forgiving. We really were sad about it, didn't go back for a while. We gave it one last chance, and said never again. Banners is the way to go for sure, give it a try if you haven't already.

This is what always fascinates me about restaurants and impressions. I'm not a fan of Banner's lol. I'm not saying you're wrong - I mean why would I tell a redditor their preferences are wrong? Haha.
I think part of what I enjoy about Bea's is that it's not touristy like all the spots up in NoCo. (Not saying that's Banner's)

I would agree to that, but also I feel like hands down their home fries are the best in the valley, so it’s a win in my book. Plus, I love how they are still staunchly cash only.

Heritage Farm pancake house in Sanbornton has the best pancakes in the state.
For overall breakfast Purple Finch is Bedford is good.
Tuckers is extremely popular, but is very overrated, IMO. If there's no wait, it's worth it, but their wait times can be upwards of an hour.
The Foundry in Manchester has a Sunday brunch that is really good. I believe it's by reservation only.

The Windham Junction! For years I've been coming and going to NH and it has always been this special mom-and-pop kinda place. Never too busy.
Fantastic food and good coffee. Also a marvelous lunch menu.

Depends. Wanna go somewhere similar to places you can find in other states? That’s how we view Tucker’s. Very overrated and tend to drop the ball on orders of more than a couple things. Want a unique and/or interesting experience? Polly’s Pancake Parlor, Bristol Diner, etc are exactly what I’d recommend.

In the south, riverside cafe in Milford. Try the CB stack or the pig pile.
In the north, Polly's. I am a pancake hater and theirs are great. Their other food is good, too.
Tucker's is fine but I think it looks a bit better than it tastes. It also has a more... corporate feel.

Depends on what kind of breakfast atmosphere you want. I prefer a local greasy spoon, and my favorite is Northwood Diner. The owner is there every Sunday morning, talks to everyone, and hangs at the counter with the regulars. I take my kids regularly to expose them to real people.

I didn't want to out Leno's, but because it already was, hard agree. I don't know if Sr. is still operating it, but friendliest guy in the world, you absolutely get what you pay for in fill and quality, and the atmosphere feels like a timewarp to simpler and better times. To this day, I've never found a place as good as Leno's.

Went to the one in Portsmouth and swore never to return. It literally took 1.5 hours to be served eggs and get my check on a weekday when the place was barely busy. I went for a quick lunch, and was late returning to work because of it and was pissed. And, they were completely Unapologetic about it. Worst service I've ever experienced anywhere.

Big Bean uses real syrup too, and all their breads are made on-site, from scratch.
Anyplace that's open only a few months a year may be fantastic, but I wouldn't bother telling people about it. Raising hopes only to find CLOSED on the door is disheartening. Big Bean is open year-round and is consistently excellent.
Their menu is extensive and every single thing is delicious. Most places with huge menus are just re-heating frozen food. The Bean makes everything with whole fresh foods, daily.
Disclosure: a member of my family supported herself during college by working there.
